(Worthy News) – The Israeli Navy declared its fleet of Sa’ar 6-class corvettes — tasked with protecting the country’s gas field and shipping lanes — operational on Sunday, more than two years after receiving the first ship.
When first delivered in late 2020 and throughout 2021, the ships were essentially capable only of sailing. Since then, they have been outfitted with advanced sensors, weapons and communication systems.
Three of the four ships have now been declared fully operational, with the fourth — delivered in August 2021 — very close to that stage, nearly two years after it was received. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
